Life often becomes a rush of tasks, leading to a disconnect from ourselves, our breath, our inner rhythm and the rhythm of nature.   Ritual helps us return to ourselves within our existing routines. It transforms mundane actions like showering or having tea into moments of presence and appreciation.   Approaching self-care practices as rituals, rather than tasks that need to be checked off daily, fosters a sense of being rooted, nourished, and present, bringing us closer to our true selves.   In this episode Colette wants to encourage you to transform your Dinacharya, the Ayurvedic daily self-care practices, from mere routines into deeply nourishing rituals that foster a stronger connection with your inner self. This involves moving beyond simply completing tasks and instead taking the time to listen to your inner guidance, allowing you to make more intentional and meaningful choices for your well-being. She covers the following: Daily self-care practices (dinacharya) as a blueprint for alignment. Why routine can feel empty. Turning routine into ritual. Mindset shifts: from doing to being. The psychological, spiritual and energetic benefits of sacred ritual. Personalizing and flowing with your daily ritual.  * Visit Colette's website www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com  Online consultations & Gift Vouchers Next discounted Group Cleanse starts October 3rd, 2025 Private at-home Digestive Reset Cleanse tailored to you Educational programs - Daily Habits for Holistic Health Have questions before you book? Book a FREE 15 min online Services Enquiry Call * Join the Elements of Ayurveda Community! * Stay connected on the Elements Instagram and Facebook pages. * Enjoy discounts on your favourite Ayurvedic products: Banyan Botanicals - enter discount code ELEMENTSOFAYURVEDA at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.** Divya's  - enter discount code ELEMENTSOFAYURVEDA15 at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.** Kerala Ayurveda - enter discount code ELEMENTS15 to receive 15% off your first purchase.** LifeSpa - Save $10 on a $50 or more one-time purchase with the code elements10.  **Shipping available within the U.S. only. * Thanks for listening!

Spring, often referred to as kapha season in Ayurveda, shares similar qualities with the kapha dosha: cold, moist, heavy, static, soft, and liquid.

As a result, you might experience clogged pores, increased oiliness, puffiness, skin breakouts, and a lack of vibrancy in your skin during this time.   Colette delves into holistic skincare practices specifically tailored for the spring season.

When we think of dieting, restrictive eating, calorie counting, and short-term trends often come to mind. Ayurveda takes a different approach. It offers personalized dietary advice that nourishes and heals your body. Rather than a short-term restriction, Ayurveda views food as an integral part of a sustainable, holistic wellbeing strategy which helps to keep your body/mind in balance, preventing dis-ease.   Colette discusses why Ayurveda doesn't align with modern dieting: One-size-fits-all diets ignore individual needs. Modern diets focus on physical appearance, not health. Modern dieting often promotes restriction and deprivation which can weaken digestion. Lack of consideration for timing of meals with the Circadian rhythm. Mindful eating is not addressed and how it affects digestion. Modern diets can create emotional and mental stress. Diets often don't consider seasonality and environment. Ayurveda focuses on disease prevention, longevity and sustainability * Click here to learn more about discounted group Digestive Reset Cleanse starting March 28th, 2025 * Visit Colette's website www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com  Online consultations & Gift Vouchers Private at-home Digestive Reset Cleanse tailored to you Educational programs - Daily Habits for Holistic Health Have questions before you book? Book a FREE 15 min online Services Enquiry Call * Join the Elements of Ayurveda Community! * Stay connected on the Elements Instagram and Facebook pages. * Check out these recommended Ayurvedic sites and enjoy discounts on all your favourite Ayurvedic products: Banyan Botanicals - enter discount code ELEMENTSOFAYURVEDA at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.** Divya's  - enter discount code ELEMENTSOFAYURVEDA15 at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.** Kerala Ayurveda - enter discount code ELEMENTS15 to receive 15% off your first purchase.** **Shipping available within the U.S. only. * Thanks for listening!

Kapha season is considered to be late winter and spring in Ayurveda, however, it's best to think of the qualities of the season as this is what determines whether it's kapha season. It's when there's cooler temperatures, the ground is saturated with rain or melting snow and the air is heavy with humidity.

Today, on Episode #136 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we're continuing our theme of rest by exploring why we may have trouble resting in our Me Now Years.Part of the problem is that we sometimes mix up the terms “relax” and “rest.”For example, you may relax at the end of the day by:Reading a bookWatching TVScrolling social mediaBut are you really “resting?”Sure, you're likely sitting or lying down. But your eyes are working - likely straining to read or watch a screen - and your mind is moving.Not super restful, after all. At least, not for me.That is not to say you can't do these things with your leisure time.But be careful that you don't get sucked into the activity and wind up over-indulging.So, what does help you rest?A nap?A meditation?YogaA leisurely walk?Any of these, really, could be restful for your mind, body and spirit.Start experimenting with what works for you by delving into your dosha and how that factors in to your rest.Lorrie xoxoxMentioned in this episode:Banyan Botanicals Dosha QuizIn Ayurveda, the term “Prajñāparādha” (pronounced praj-nyah-pah-rah-dha) refers to “the crime against wisdom” or “mistake of the intellect.” It describes the situation where an individual knowingly engages in behaviors or actions that are harmful, despite having the wisdom or awareness that they are not beneficial.

How many of us are living in an energy deficit, putting out way more energy than we are receiving or generating for ourselves?  I think this is especially true for parents.  The basic foundation for vibrancy is nourishment but I think the true long game is resilience.  In order to become more resilient you first need to understand the relationship between nourishment and resilience.  In the first episode of Vibrancy is a Long Game, I talk about the Ayurvedic concept of Ojas which is the vital essence of Kapha Dosha and is a part of immunity and true deep nourishment on all levels.  Like many Ayurvedic concepts, Ojas is a part of a trinity.  The other two counterparts are Prana (the vital essence of Vata Dosha) and Tejas (the vital essence of Pitta Dosha) and I think for true vibrancy, we need to look at all three of these vital essences.In this episode:Why it is important to be resilientThe relationship between nourishment and resiliency, why nourishment needs to come firstWhat Tejas and Prana are and how they relate with OjasWhy all three of these are important for long term vibrancyWays to cultivate Prana and TejasRelated Episodes:Episode 2:  The Lens of AyurvedaEpisode 3:  What the Vata?!Episode 8:  Oh Pitta, You're Hot!Episode 10:  Kapha, the Sweet OneEpisode 15:  Vibrancy is a Long GameReferences:Lad, V., M.A.Sc (1990).

Vibrancy is a glow, a sparkle and an aura of excitement.  To feel truly vibrant is a robust, grounded and vital feeling.  Do you feel vibrant?  If not, when was the last time you truly felt vibrant?  In Ayurvedic thought the feeling of vibrancy and vitality is connected to ojas, a biological protoplasmic substance that governs immunity and vitality in the body.In this episode:What ojas is and how it is formedWhy what we eat and digest affects our ojasThe relationship of stress and burn out to ojasHow to build and maintain ojasThe importance of practices like abhyangha (oil massage) and meditation to build and maintain ojasWhy vibrancy is a long gameRelated Episodes:Episode 2:  The Lens of AyurvedaEpisode 3:  What the Vata?!

In Oprah Winfrey's words, Danielle LaPorte “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters,” and here at Almost 30, we couldn't agree more.  We're so grateful to welcome Danielle back on the show. In this episode, Krista + Danielle, talk about the true meaning of spirituality and concepts of her recently published book, How to Be Loving…when your heart is breaking open and the world is waking up.  Danielle believes that we should focus less on fixing ourselves because when we focus on living from our heart center, anything that's not in alignment with that Light falls away. Get ready for a nuanced perspective on the life changing power of self compassion, shadow work and being more receptive to higher guidance. We also talk about: Unwounded parts of self Taking breaks in life  Having spiritual seasons Striving for success + self acceptance  The universe + selfishness  Desire + aversion  Living from your heart  Manifesting with intention Defining the law of attraction Resources:  Website: daniellelaporte.com Instagram: @daniellelaporte Twitter: @daniellelaporte Book: How To Be Loving Sponsors: Babbel | Get 55% off your Babbel subscription at babbel.com/ALMOST30.

In this episode I discuss Ayurvedic Medicine, how to stay warm and nourished this season, foods to favor in winter, how to cook them, and close with a brief meditation. Episode takeaways: Depending on your Ayurvedic constitution, winter can be a time of peace and coziness, or a time when you feel weighted down, or uninspired. Counteract sluggishness with morning exercise (sun salutations, metabolism stimulating poses like forward and backward bends). Focus on eating warm, cooked, well-spiced foods like soups, and roasted vegetables. Drink room temperature, warm, or hot beverages and avoid iced or chilled drinks, if possible. What to eat: apples, dates, citrus, cooked prunes, pomegranates, brussels sprouts, leeks, winter squashes, potatoes, turnips, cooked greens, carrots, and beets Recipes for Walnut Granola, Roasted Beets with Blue Cheese, Butternut Squash Soup, Broccoli Gruyere Quiche, Celery with Date and Parmigiano Salad are available on www.Foodiewithalife.com Banyan Botanicals is a helpful Ayurvedic resource that offers seasonal guides.
